Without having looked at the patch in detail, but knowing I did closely
look at earlier versions (and iirc I was mostly fine with v10) the way
the above is written would require me to either inter-diff the patches,
or re-review the whole thing. For a large patch like this it would be
rather helpful to be quite a bit more specific as to where exactly in the
patch changes were made.
